Live365 broadcast

[djsoft]

I. Setting up Live broadcast
1) Login to Live365 broadcast control panel

2) Select broadcast's format: click My Profile, and select the desired format in the drop-down box (pic. 1).

3) Switch broadcast mode to Live: click Controls and then "Switch broadcast mode" button. Check "Live" and click "Save" button. The next screen will give server connection details (pic. 2) - you'll need it in the next step.

4) Run RadioBOSS, open Settings->Broadcast. Click "+", add server address from Step 3, enter password for your Live365 account in the Password field. Select the format to the same selected in the Live365 control panel on step 2. Note that MP3 and MP3 pro are not the same. (pic. 3).

5) Click "OK" and check the checkbox in the list to enable this server. Also check the "Broadcasting Enabled" option above. Click OK.

II. Sending song title
In the Settings window, click "Log files (Reports)", enable HTTP Get request. In the URL put the following string:

http://tools.live365.com/cgi-bin/add_song.cgi?version=2&pass=MYPASSWORD&handle=MYLOGIN&title=%title&artist=%artist&album=%album

Note: change MYPASSWORD and MYLOGIN to your Live365 login/password. (see pic. 4).

Note: if your RadioBOSS version is 4.4 or prior, you'll need to download the "bassenc.zip" file (attached to this post) and unpack it to RadioBOSS directory (ask "Yes" when it asks about file overwrite; RadioBOSS have to be closed during this).

What version of RadioBoss is used in this?   The windows look different.

Doe sthis only work on 4.5 beta? I have tried on 4.4.1.667 and get record init: code 23, connection/encoder died (output 5). restarting ect..

I downloaded the latest beta followed all of the instructions and I am getting the following error message as shown in the picture below

Hello,

To make it work, please unpack attached file to the directory where you have RadioBOSS installed. This should work with any RadioBOSS 4.x version.
Soon this file will be included in the distribution.

[nyankee]

What attached file? download link?

[djsoft]

Fixed, sorry.

[nyankee]

Do i replace the old one, or have both in there

[nyankee]

I get "record init error: code 23" everything looks good in line3365, but i don't dont hear the music. I will check if it takes 5 minutes to update to see if it works.

PS> Should I enable Public (directory) in broadcast for live365?

[nyankee]

works great. i had 96mp3 on radioboss, and it 96mp3pro on live live 365 so that didnt make a difference and still works. I cannot see the amount of listeners in the Broadcasting statistics for the output for live365 it shows as "n/a" will this be fixed?

[WRCM]

hey nyankee,

Did you have to do anything else besides what these instructions say to get Radioboss working with live365?

Thanks
WRCM

Nope. just do what it says and it should work. at first i thought i was getting any sound, but it was because i did not have my email validated on live365 to listen to it.

The "record init error" is a bug in RadioBOSS 4.4 which happens sometimes. It's already fixed in 4.5.
You shouldn't enable "Public" for Live 365 servers.

I'd recommend switching from MP3Pro to MP3 in the Live365's control panel, just in case...
At Live365 they use Nanocaster server, which is compatible with Shoutcast, but doesn't support all the features of it (like "Public" or gettins the stats, also title update info is made differently).

If there's no special reason to use Live365, it's better to use Loudcaster (www.loudcaster.com). It's much easier to setup.

You should download the file from this post: http://www.djsoft.net/smf/index.php/topic,1034.msg4607.html#msg4607 and unpack it to a dir where you have RB installed. It contains a hot-fix to make it work with Live365 servers.

[nyankee]

what about the stats? I have it on 128 mp3 on both live365 and radiboss, and it still shows n/a for listeners.
